   BREAKING: Acting by himself, Chief Justice Roberts has issued an "administrative" stay in Abrego Garcia, temporarily pausing Judge Xinis's order (which had required the U.S. to return Abrego Garcia by this evening).

   In a nutshell, it's a temp pause to buy the full Court more time to rule on the dispute. #SCOTUS

     4/ Via Max Kennerly:

     Administrative stays are common, but context matters: Roberts issued this to prevent the District Court from finding the government in contempt when it inevitably comes out that the Trump admin has made no effort to comply with the order that Garcia be returned to the U.S. by midnight.

     FWIW, I think we'll get a ruling quickly (best guess, by Wednesday). And I think the government is going to lose (when you've lost even Judge Wilkinson...).

     Now, at least, the administrative stay means that the Court can rule against Trump and leave enough time to effectuate Abrego Garcia's return.

     I would not reach too much into Roberts' action. Justices regularly issue administrative stays so the full court can mull a request. Remember that Roberts also stayed Judge Amir's order on foreign aid before the full court ultimately denied a stay. #SCOTUS

     @GottaLaff It’s cool… there’s just an innocent American Citizen, risking his physical and mental health each day as he sits in a foreign slave labor prison that he was admittedly sent to in error by his own Government…

     No hurry.

     Trigger moment: What the hell is there to consider? An innocent man was seized and deported to a hell hole without due process — AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACT. Again, what the hell is there to consider. A man’s life is at stake. There are many others in the same situation. ACT! JFC!
